A simple mathematical model has helped chemists selectively synthesise a novel interwoven catenane structure. Researchers say ...

Zebras and tigers have stripes, cheetahs and leopards have spots, and the ocellated lizard (Timon lepidus) boasts a labyrinthine pattern of black-and-green chains of scales. Now researchers from the ...

New research from the University of Chicago shows that a deceptively simple mathematical model can describe how the soil responds to environmental change. Using just two variables, the model shows ...

When building a model rocket, it can be fun to get into the maths of it all—calculating the expected performance of your build, and then seeing how it measures up in the real world. To aid in that ...

Physicists and marine biologists built a quantitative framework that predicts how coral polyps collectively construct a variety of coral shapes. Since before she could remember, Eva Llabrés was a ...

As language models (LMs) improve at tasks like image generation, trivia questions, and simple math, you might think that ...
